Blood Essence Cultivation Method

"Blood Essence Soul Rings? That child Wang Yan's summary was well done. It seems his research over the years has not been without results."

After returning to Sea God's Pavilion that evening, Tang Wulin relayed what Wang Yan had said during the day to Mu En. Mu En nodded approvingly, agreeing with Wang Yan's conclusion.

Tang Wulin asked:

"Elder Mu, do you have any way to strengthen my Bloodline Power? I've discovered that the Golden Dragon King's abilities are closely tied to Bloodline Power."

After parting with Wang Yan, he had secretly run a few experiments of his own and found that Huo Yutong's guess was indeed correct: Bloodline Power could, to a certain extent, be used in place of Soul Power.

When he used Golden Dragon Claw and Golden Dragon Body, they did consume some Soul Power, but most of the expenditure came from Bloodline Power. Only once his Bloodline Power was depleted would they begin to primarily consume Soul Power.

And by then, the consumption caused by Golden Dragon Claw and Golden Dragon Body would become astonishingly great. Clearly, at least when it came to abilities related to the Golden Dragon King, Soul Power was not as efficient as Bloodline Power.

Tang Wulin did not lack strength now. What he lacked was Soul Power. Yet Soul Power could not be rushed, so he turned his attention to Bloodline Power.

Mu En stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.

"You're asking about ways to strengthen Bloodline Power... I do know a few, each with its own advantages and drawbacks."

"The first is to eat more dishes prepared from high-level soul beasts. This method places heavy demands on one's finances, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. But in your case, you need not worry too much about that. Sea God's Pavilion's personal chefs will prepare nutritious meals for you every day."

"The second is to seek Immortal Herbs that can enhance Bloodline Power. If you manage to find the right kind, the improvement they bring you will be enormous. However, herbs of the Immortal Herb grade are simply too rare. They can be encountered but not sought. I suggest you do not waste too much time on this matter, lest you end up drawing water with a bamboo basket."

"As for the third, it is to learn cultivation methods related to Bloodline Power and train without cease every day. I do have several such Cultivation Techniques, and their quality is fairly good. But honestly, when it comes to truly excelling at this sort of cultivation, no one on this continent surpasses the Body Sect."

"The Body Sect?"

Hearing an unfamiliar term all of a sudden, Tang Wulin instinctively repeated it.

Mu En nodded.

"Yes, the Body Sect. It is an extremely powerful Hidden Sect that accepts only soul masters whose Martial Souls are parts of their own bodies as disciples. Yutong's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is also a Body Martial Soul, and it is even among the higher ranks of Body Martial Souls. Since the Body Sect's soul masters all possess Body Martial Souls, they place particular importance on training their bodies. As a result, their methods for cultivating Bloodline Power are the most distinctive and advanced. If you encounter someone from the Body Sect in the future, you can try discussing it with them. If things go smoothly, it will benefit you greatly."

"I see..."

Tang Wulin felt as though his horizons had been broadened.

He had never known there was such a classification as Body Martial Souls. He had thought Martial Souls like Huo Yutong's were quite ordinary.

He had not expected there to be such a background behind them.

He earnestly asked Mu En:

"Elder Mu, could you teach me the Blood Essence Cultivation Methods you possess?"

Although Mu En had said that his methods could not compare to those of the Body Sect, even a mosquito's leg was still meat. Not to mention that the cultivation methods mastered by Mu En, the Pavilion Master of Sea God's Pavilion, could hardly be called insignificant. If he could master them successfully, his Bloodline Power would surely rise to another level.

Mu En revealed a warm smile.

"Of course. I told you about this because I intended to teach you. Come, hold out your hand."

"Yes!"

Tang Wulin was overjoyed and held his hand out in front of him as Mu En instructed.

Mu En extended a finger and touched Tang Wulin's palm. Then a glimmer of golden light flowed forth, injecting a strand of Light Aura into his body.

Tang Wulin only felt a warm current rapidly flow from his palm into his body, swiftly spreading through his Limbs and Bones and making his entire body feel warm.

Mu En's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Pay attention to the path my Soul Power takes. When you cultivate on your own in the future, use your own Soul Power to carry your Bloodline Power along, and have them travel according to this path. Bit by bit, the results will come in time."

"Yes."

Tang Wulin drew a deep breath and focused as Mu En instructed, memorizing the trajectory of the Soul Power's circulation.

He discovered that unlike ordinary cultivation, where Soul Power primarily flowed through the Meridians, Mu En's Soul Power was now constantly moving toward the body's vital organs, especially the heart.

Bloodline Power originated from a soul master's flesh, while the heart was the source of a person's strength. Under the influence of Mu En's Light Aura, Tang Wulin felt as if even his heartbeat had become more powerful, endlessly supplying him with surging strength.

The golden Blood Essence Soul Ring floated up beside him uncontrollably, and Tang Wulin's entire body grew feverish.

Mu En's demonstration did not last long. He merely repeated the circulation three times within Tang Wulin's body before stopping and asking:

"Have you remembered it?"

"...Yes."

Tang Wulin wiped away the sweat forming on his forehead, his eyes filled with excitement.

In just that short time, he could clearly feel that his Bloodline Power had become somewhat more vigorous than before.

Of course, the rapid results this time were due to Mu En's help. When he cultivated alone afterward, Mu En naturally would not be there to help him achieve such swift progress. But as a steady stream wears through stone, as long as he persisted, he believed that within a few months, the intensity of his Bloodline Power could double.

All that remained was to break through the seals that followed.

At this thought, Tang Wulin recalled something extremely important and hurriedly said to Mu En:

"Elder Mu, for some personal reasons, I need some medicinal herbs. Could you help me look for them? I can repay the debt with forged metals."

"Oh?" Mu En raised a brow curiously. "What medicinal herbs? Tell me about them."

Tang Wulin quickly told him all the information Old Tang had left behind.

After listening, Mu En fell into thought.

"Hmm... They are all herbs that strengthen one's foundation, nourish one's vitality, and greatly benefit the body. Some have potent effects, while others are mild. I do not know much about medicine. Are you sure there will be no problem?"

"I'm sure."

Tang Wulin answered firmly.

There was no other choice but to trust him. All he could do was trust Old Tang.

"Very well, I understand." Mu En smiled with satisfaction. "The academy has most of the lower-grade herbs you mentioned. You can exchange forged items for them as you said. As for the higher-grade ones, I will send people to look for them. Once there is news, I will inform you. What do you think?"

"Yes, thank you, Elder Mu!"

Tang Wulin was overjoyed and hurriedly lowered his head in thanks.

The Golden Dragon King's seals had always been a mountain pressing down upon him, leaving him unable to relax for even a moment. Now that Mu En had given his word, at least the supply of medicinal herbs would be greatly assured. This immediately put his mind much more at ease.

Mu En chuckled.

"Alright, it's getting late. Hurry back to your room and cultivate. Remember the path I just showed you, and follow that process."

"Understood!"
